Fleksy Continues to Become More Than Just a Keyboard, Expands Content Functionality by Partnering With URX

A single integration with the URX API enables Fleksy to go beyond communication-based functionality. Allowing the virtual keyboard to expand the auto-suggestion "Highlight" feature, adding "actions" alongside GIFs, stickers and other rich content.

By utilizing the auto-suggestion hashtag, Fleksy can unobtrusively assist users with actions based on the context of what they type. For example, when "Drake" is part of a conversion, users are presented song recommendations inside SoundCloud and Spotify. So, in addition to suggesting relevant Drake stickers and GIFs, Fleksy will make it easy for users to listen to Drake's music with a single click from within the keyboard.

This powerful partnership will enable Fleksy to assist users with actions never before seen on a keyboard. Initially, the functionality will include music, events and transportation, with more categories soon to follow.

Smart emoji prediction is also included in the latest update. As the user types, Fleksy will automatically suggest relevant emoji right above the keyboard. Allowing the user to enjoy an effortless emoji-full conversation.

Officially the fastest smartphone keyboard in the world (Guinness World Record, May 2014 & November 2014), Fleksy is already used by millions of people in over 170 countries. It features the world's most powerful typing technology, an award winning design, and unprecedented customization. Having established partnerships with Samsung, Xiaomi, Meizu and many others, Fleksy is projecting more than 50M branded installs in 2015.

Winner of the CES Award for Design and Engineering, the South by Southwest (SXSW) Award, and a 2014 Golden Stevie Award for Innovation, Fleksy is the world's most innovative keyboard company. It was the first keyboard to enable blind typing on a smartphone (Access Award by the American Foundation for the Blind), the first keyboard to be deployed on a smartwatch, and the first keyboard to enable typing in a 3D augmented reality platform (Leap Motion).

URX is a deep link pioneer that enables developers to recommend contextually relevant content and actions to their users. The URX API uses keywords, location, and other contextual information and returns relevant actions inside mobile apps for users to take. URX is a Y Combinator alum and has raised over $15 million from investors like Accel, First Round Capital, Google Ventures and SV Angel.
